BUTTER-DISH.

vS'PECIIEICAIIQPN forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,111, dated March l1, 1884.

Application led December :26, 1683.

To 1J-Z rcbonazzi may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW J. `(3i-msn, a citizen of the United States, residing at BosA ton, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in ButterfDishes, of which thefollowing is a specification. ln a prior pat-ent, N 275,587, granted me April l0, 1833, l have shown a refrigerating bntterldish having a dome-cover for the dish or receptacle, with an ice-receptacle or refrigeratiiig-chamber suspended therein from the top ol" the dome, the receptacle or chamber being of such smaller dimensions than the interior of the dome as to Vform an air-circalating passage around the icc-receptacle or rein such patent as typical of the invention requires the removal of the susp ended ice-recep tacle from its inclosing-dome, in order to inf The object or' my present invention, while following the principle of the invention set forth in that patent, is to -fnrnish such a construction as will permit the introduction ofthe i'c-e or other refrigerating agent into the receptacle without removal of the lat-ter from the dome. To this end I construct the dome-cover with a neck at its top, the ice-receptacle or refrigeratingchamber being firmly united to such neck, from which point it is suspended `within the dome. The neck upon the dome thus serves as a neck for and opening into the ice-receptacle, and it is provided with a suitable cover or lid. This construction is exemplified in the drawing, which is a sectional vienr of a dish embodying the invention.

Ar is the receptacle for butter or other ar-` ticles, having a ledge or lange, et, designed to receive and support the dome-cover B. This receptacle A may have a plain bottom, af; or a may be perforated and removable, serving merely as a support for the butter, and a bottom, h, provided, so as to form a space between a.' and h for the reception of dripiwater of condensation, die.

At the top of the dome-cover B a neck, b, is formed of any suitable size, to which is fitted a removable cover or lid, D, which maybe secured. thereto in any desired manner-for thread, or by a bayonet-joint, If desired, a

porcelain.

(No model.)

hoop, ring, or handle, E, may be attached to b, to facilitate its handling` or removal from A. This dome B maybe of any desired materialsilver or ordinary metals plated, or of glass or If of the latter materials, the neck b would be of metal, secured thereto by cemcnt or plaster in a manner Well known in the arts. Y

An ice-receptacle or refrigerating-chamber, C, is provided, of such smaller dimensions than B as to form, when B and C are in proper relation,an 'ai r-circulating chamber, d, between them, as set out in the prior patent referred to. This receptacle or chamber O is attached to the dome B and neck ZJ at their point of union o in any suitable method, an opening, M, being left thereat in so that the neck b becomes practically common to both B and C. This construction, as readilyr perceived, permits the introduction of ice or refrigerating agent into the interior of the ice-receptacle C Without its detachment from the dome and from the exterior thereof upon the mere removal of the lid D from the neck b, which serves as a neck for both the dome and the receptacle. This is a-n important advantage, simplifying the manipulations necessary to the use of the device, which. as an entirety presents a pleasing, sightly, and ornamental appearance, is exceedingly useful, and economically and certainly refrigeratcs or cools any article placed in the receptacle A.

Having thus described my invent-ion, what l claim is l. The combination, in a refrigerating butter or similar dish, of a dome or cover and an ice-receptacle suspended therein, the dome or cover and ice-receptacle being united together at an opening common to both, whereby the ice-receptacle may be charged without detachnient from the dome or cover, substantially as described.

2. The combination, in a refrigerating butter or similar dish, of a dome or cover,'an

ice-receptacle suspended therein, and a neck common to both, the dome and ice-receptacle being united at the base of the neck, whereby the ice-receptacle may be charged without detachment from the dome or cover, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a refrigerating butter or similar dish, of a receptacle for the ar- ICO ticle to be cooled, a dome or cover, an ice-receptacle suspended therein and rigidly attached thereto, and a neck or opening for the 'ice receptacle, passi-ng through the dome- 5 cover and controlled from the exterior thereof, substantially as described.

4. The combination, in 2t refrigerating butter or similar dish, of a.- receptacle for the article to be cooled, a dome or cover, an ice-receptnele suspended therein and of such smaller dimensions than the interior of the dome or. cover as to form an air-circulating chamber around the ice-receptacle, and a neck or opening common to both, the dome or cover and 15 ice-receptacle being united together at the base of the neek or opening, substantially as described.

5. The combination, in a refrigerating butter or similar dish, of a receptec1e,A, a cover, B, a. suspended ice-receptacle, C, a neck, I), common to both, and a. cap or cover, D, substentially es described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
